A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Curves taper into fine hairlines while stems and main diagonals stay dark, giving the design a crisp, polished rhythm. The letterforms are narrow-to-variable in their set widths with ample sidebearings, and the lowercase shows a compact x-height with long, elegant ascenders and descenders. Terminals are subtly wedge-like and the overall slant is consistent, producing a fluid, continuous texture in text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif with strong contrast can bring refinement to the page. It also works effectively for introductions, pull quotes, captions, and formal materials such as invitations or announcements where a traditional, polished tone is desired.
The font reads as classical and cultivated, with an editorial sophistication reminiscent of book typography and formal correspondence. Its lively slant and crisp contrast add a sense of poise and motion without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif in a dedicated italic voice, prioritizing elegance and readability through disciplined spacing, strong stroke modulation, and classic serif construction.
In the samples, the italic forms maintain clear internal counters and stable spacing, helping paragraphs hold a clean, even color despite the strong contrast. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic and feel suited to inline use alongside text.
